For goodness sake doesnt anyone know the laws of the game. Most of the foot can be on the pitch, so long as part of both feet is on or behind the touchline.

Surprised. We have a lot of managers, scouts, accountants and legal experts
Shame we don't have any comedians
I’d take a look at the match threads, always worth a laugh

You have contradicted yourself. “Behind the touchline” means the outer and not the inner of the pitch.
Huh? What he’s said makes perfect sense. Behind the line means off the pitch. So, if you have feet on the line or behind the line (off the pitch) the throw is legal. Not contradicted himself at all.
Which brings me to another point that has always irked me. In childrens football the 'refs' (and I use the word loosely here) always used to penalise a child for lifting their heels during a throw. I feel this might have derived from the same point, that if your feet were over the line, but your heels on the line, but when you took the throw you lifted your heels then it would become a foul throw.
He said “most of the foot can be on the pitch” which it can’t. If most of the foot was over the line (on the pitch) that would be a foul throw. I would be giving that all day long.
Oh, you mean the good people/volunteers who give up their time so the kids can play football when nobody else will put themselves forward?
No it wouldn't. The law is that 'part of each foot' must be on or behind the line. So a long as even the tiniest part of the heels are on the line it's a legal throw. Like bowling in cricket.
Trust me-that would be a foul throw. I know this as I am a referee. Maybe the wording needs to be changed as maybe it reads wrongly.
I'm not a referee, but I can't see how that would be a foul throw. The rules state that "at the moment of delivering the ball, the thrower must have part of each foot on the touchline or on the ground outside the touchline." What am I missing?

That should be this forums motto
So which part of the ACTUAL law does it break? Maybe the wording is wrong, but the law is what the wording states. In that case the law states that only a part of the foot needs to be on the line. Therefore under the laws of the game it'd be legal.
Yes-the ground outside the touch line means not on the “pitch side” of the line. So in Layman’s terms the feet are on the “crowd/outside” area of the pitch. Does that make sense?
it's the bit that says "the thrower must have part of each foot on the touchline or .."
which implies that it is fine for the thrower to have part of each foot on the touchline. So just each heel, for example.
Original by Brewer and Shipley (not that one). Based on the lyrics I’m 100% sure it’s not a church sing.
After several readings, yes. In other words, no encroachment beyond the touch line. Ta.

Except that’s not the FA rule. That’s Adge’s rule. The throw was valid.
So is food inflation at 20% a year and Baka has the best goals per minute ratio last season according to you. Not going well at all is it?
